True, true. There is also the point, that for the most part, people would just assume that Superman, is well, Superman all the time. Why would he make himself a lowly, bumbling fool? It is not only the vibrating face, but the attitude that throws people off.
As for throwing a punch at lightspeed, the answer would be no. Him going at lightspeed, would take all his energy. I mean, in the \'Return of Superman\' comics he complains that it is taking to long to fly across country and how it use to take four mintues, but he doesn\'t have all his energy. The same is explained when he takes a punch and it hurts him. Anything he does, takes the solar energy he has.
